The encounters themselves aren't interesting. Group of generic mobs after group of generic mobs, followed by a generic "boss" that's basically just a champ mob. No wonder most of the encounters get skipped. Their current work is leaps and bounds ahead of that. If raids were released in 2012 they would be exactly same as dungeons.

It's not the name that matters, it's the content. Both raids and new fractals are much more engaging and fun. I have no doubt if ANet decided to do new dungeons they'd be better as well. But dungeons also tend to take more time, they shifted toward a lower-timeframe format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanWilder.6923 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Agree. Agony is so hard to get. I only have a stack of 36 x +9 agony spare in my inventory and I working on my 10th +5 attribution agony for my main. The stack of agony took me 3 months of doing Fractal dailies.

I liked the 5 man branching paths with dungeons. It would be nice if they had added a single dungeon with 4 branches including the story for each expansion. I thought dealing with the Malyck story with a dungeon, with Heart of Thorns, would of have been a neat way to go. Same with a possible dungeon for Path of Fire.
